Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Trier, minted during the reign of John VI of the Leyen (1556-1567), features an image of the Archbishop on one side and the coat of arms of the Leyen family on the other. This coin was made of silver and weighs 28.3 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design and weight were carefully regulated by the Archbishopric to ensure its authenticity and value.
